Re: Brexit discussion

Where are the counter studies? Surely, as I said before, the financial might of Tim Martin of Wetherspoons and Lord Bamford of JCB could rustle up a few economists to perform a realistic study to counter the remain biased civil service? Hell, Jacob Rees Mogg is worth a few bob...

The only positive studies I have seen are from Patrick Minfords Liverpool Model which predicts a nearly 9% rise in GDP post Brexit at the expense of UK manufacturing. The model is interesting in isolation but ignores consumer choice (price may not be more important than quality) and location (importing from China is tougher than importing from Ireland)

For a more considered analysis of The Liverpool Model, see here - http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpo...ws-of-gravity/
